 == ATIS ==
 The Automatic Terminal Information Service is broadcast from most airports, informing about active runways, weather and conditions, exceptional airport information, etc. It is typically recorded every half-hour by controllers and looped over on a published frequency for pilots to listen before making contact.
-Look up the ATIS frequency of an airport in range and set it to COM1. With the somewhat misleadingly named "ATC" sound configuration option, you will hear a faint broadcast automatically generated by FlightGear. In a controlled multiplayer session and with FGCom turned on, you may hear a proper ATIS if it was recorded by the ATC. Always tune in first! Alternatively, you can be given one though multiplayer text chat.
